For those of you who have set up gears in a Chrysler 8.25:
I'm in the process of installing 4.56's in my 29 spline 8.25. I bought the D30/8.25 gear combo from Rusty's ($400 and they are Superior gears and Timken bearings!).
My question is about the carrier bearings. The bearing kit that came with the gears has 6 bearings. 2 are for the pinion gear, and 2 more are the same as my carrier bearings, but the last 2 don't seem to match up with anything in my axle. They look just like my carrier bearings, but the ID is slightly smaller.
Did 27 spline 8.25's have different carrier bearings than the 29 spline version? If that is the case, then the kit probably came with bearings for both versions; I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.
